The Robobots

32 pp. | DK Ink/Jackson | April, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-7894-2566-1 $$15.95
(4) K-3 In this story about accepting differences, a robot family is shunned when they move into a new neighborhood. Once the neighbors get to know the Robobots, however, they realize how much they actually have in common. The cartoonlike illustrations keep the moral from overwhelming the story for younger readers, but older ones will see the obvious analogies for what they are.
